Furnace Oil

Furnace oil trading is a segment of the energy and commodities trading industry that deals with the buying, selling, and distribution of furnace oil, a type of fuel oil. Furnace oil is a heavy, viscous liquid derived from crude oil or other hydrocarbon sources. It is commonly used for heating, power generation, and industrial processes.

Furnace oil trading involves the commerce of furnace oil, which is a heavy and relatively low-cost fuel source. It is used for various applications, including heating residential and industrial buildings, powering industrial boilers, and generating electricity in power plants. Furnace oil is typically stored in large tanks and transported to end-users in bulk quantities.

Furnace oil trading is important for industries and regions where it remains a primary source of heating and power generation. Furnace oil combustion can produce emissions and particulate matter, making it subject to environmental regulations and emissions controls.

Furnace oil is produced through refining processes, and supply sources include refineries and storage facilities. Furnace oil trading must adhere to safety and environmental regulations, which can vary by region and jurisdiction.
